Star Trek 2<\/em>‘s Simon Pegg<\/strong> has signed to appear in Hector and the Search for Happiness<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Hector and the Search for Happiness<\/em> is the story of an “eccentric yet irresistible London psychiatrist in crisis” who is in crisis because his patients are “not getting any happier.”<\/p>\n

The movie is based on Fran\u00e7ois Lelord<\/strong>‘s best-selling novel of the same name.<\/p>\n

Pegg will begin work on Hector and the Search for Happiness<\/em> once he is finished with The World’s End<\/em>, which is currently in pre-production.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been searching long and hard for a film that would bring me back to my European sensibilities,” said Director Peter Chelsom<\/strong>. “Not unlike Being There<\/em> and Forrest Gump<\/em>, Hector<\/em> is a contemporary love story, a fable wrapped around a very human hero’s journey. Nobody does the innocent abroad better than Simon Pegg; he is not only a brilliant comedian but a very touching actor. He is the Hector that you want to follow to the ends of the earth.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
